Welcome to planDisney, Sarah! We're so glad you stopped by.
Yes, you are able to save a credit card as a payment method in the
Disneyland mobile app! There are a few different ways to do it, but I've found the easiest way is through your profile in the app.
From the home screen of the app, select the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right. Next, scroll down near the bottom and select "My Profile" then tap "Payment Method." From this next screen, you can add payment methods and select a preferred method that will be the default method when doing things like
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering or
Merchandise Mobile Checkout.
Keep in mind that, at this time, you cannot add
Disney Gift Cards as a preferred payment method. I was on a trip recently where we used Disney Gift Cards frequently, and I found that the easiest way to handle paying with these was to select "New Payment Method" near the bottom of the screen when submitting a Mobile Food Order, then selecting the Disney Gift Card option and scanning the bar code on the back of the card. This ended up being pretty quick and convenient, and it showed me my remaining gift card balance after I paid.
I hope this was helpful in answering your question, Sarah! Make sure to come see us again here at planDisney if you think of any other questions we can help with.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
